Appointment

"Fine, fine, don't rush me, I didn't say I wouldn't handle it," Xu Gang said helplessly, realizing he had no chance of swaying Xu Qing.

Sigh, it was so hard to discover a genius in his own family, only to be forced to just watch from the sidelines; no one knew how much it made his heart itch.

In his eyes, Xu Qing's future was infinitely bright, enough to bring glory to the entire Xu Family, but with Xu Xin there...

"Speak quickly," Xu Xin stared at him, her gaze sharp. How could she not know what her elder brother was thinking? Not a chance.

"To become a Fighter, one must pass a formal assessment. The assessment is divided into a test and a live combat trial, both controlled by the Huaxia authorities. Even though our Xu Family is a member of the Underground Alliance, we cannot bypass this step."

"The test is called the Prospective Fighter Assessment. It is held on the first of every month, and passing it grants one the status of a Prospective Fighter."

"Normally, only high-level trainees from the dojos and military academy students can participate, but our Xu Family is different. We can send people directly to take the assessment without waiting for the first of the month, as long as I give the people at the Limit Dojo a heads-up beforehand."

"However, the live combat trial is only held twice a year, and it is conducted uniformly for all Prospective Fighters in Jiangnan City. The next one is at the end of next month; if we miss this, we have to wait another half a year."

"As for the combat... since Xiao Qing is already a High-level Fighter, it should be a breeze for him," Xu Gang said.

Hearing this, Xu Xin's expression softened slightly.

"Then I'll have to trouble you to arrange it, Brother. Just make sure Xiao Qing obtains the status of a Fighter," Xu Xin said.

Xu Gang wanted to say more, but meeting Xu Xin's gaze, he held his tongue. "Fine, leave it to me."

For his sister's sake, he had to give up on his plans for Xu Qing.

"Once I've made the arrangements, I'll come to pick up Xiao Qing," Xu Gang said before leaving.

After Xu Gang departed, Xu Xin said to Xu Qing, "Xiao Qing, when the time comes for the test, don't reveal your true strength. Just pass, understand?"

"Oh, I understand, Sister Xin," Xu Qing nodded.

Although he didn't know why Xu Xin was giving him this instruction, since she said so, he would simply follow it.

"Good," Xu Xin smiled with satisfaction. Xu Qing's obedience was what put her most at ease.

Moreover, Xu Qing only listened to her; no one else could command him.

Two days later, Xu Gang came to pick up Xu Qing.

"Xiao Qing, let's go. I'm taking you to take the Prospective Fighter test," Xu Gang smiled.

Xu Xin nodded at Xu Qing. "Go on, and remember what I told you."

"Mm," Xu Qing nodded and followed Xu Gang into the car.

In the car, Xu Gang asked while driving, "Xiao Qing, what did she say to you?"

"Sister Xin said no matter what you say, Brother, I shouldn't pay attention to you," Xu Qing answered very bluntly.

"Uh..."

Xu Gang's eye twitched. You really are an honest child. Couldn't you have used a more tactful way to say that? It's so hurtful.

It seemed Xu Xin had been guarding against him all along, which left Xu Gang feeling very helpless. "As expected of my sister, she knows me too well."

He had indeed intended to secretly lure Xu Qing while Xu Xin wasn't around, but unfortunately, that was no longer possible.

Forget it. Since my sister doesn't want him to go far, I won't force it. With the resources of the Xu Family, surely we can cultivate a genius?

Although it certainly can't compare to the world's number one Elite Training Camp, it should be more than enough to cultivate Xiao Qing into a War God. It's just a pity that his talent won't be fully realized, and then there's the issue with my sister... Xu Gang thought.

If the Xu Family could cultivate a War God, their status would be even more secure, perhaps even reaching a new height.

At the Jiangnan Base City branch of the Limit Martial Arts Hall, the Limit General Hall in the city center.

"Xiao Qing, once we're inside, don't speak out of turn, understand?" Xu Gang cautioned.

Don't let the fact that the Xu Family was part of the Underground Alliance fool you; in front of the Limit Martial Arts Hall established by the world's strongest man, Hong, they were nothing.

Even the entire Underground Alliance didn't carry much weight in the eyes of the Limit Martial Arts Hall.

"Mm," Xu Qing nodded.

On this point, Xu Gang was quite at ease; when it came to being well-behaved, if Xu Qing claimed second place, no one would dare claim first.

Subsequently, Xu Gang led Xu Qing into the Jiangnan City Limit General Hall.

Everyone walking around here was a powerful Fighter, each carrying an aura that made ordinary people afraid to even breathe loudly in their presence.

Xu Gang felt a bit nervous himself, as he was just an ordinary person, while Xu Qing seemed quite relaxed, curiously staring at the people around them.

"Is this a little girl or a boy?" Some War General-level Fighters noticed Xu Qing boldly staring at them and felt a bit surprised.

The Fighters at the Limit Dojo in the center of Jiangnan Base City were generally at the War General level. They had killed many monsters and carried a formidable aura.

Ordinary people would instinctively fear them and dare not meet their eyes, but this beautiful little fellow wasn't afraid, which they found quite interesting.

"Hello, I am Xu Gang. I have an appointment for the Prospective Fighter assessment today," Xu Gang said to the staff at the counter.

The staff immediately operated the computer, and after checking the details, smiled. "Mr. Xu Gang, please proceed to Room 304 on the third floor."

"Understood," Xu Gang nodded.

Afterward, Xu Gang took Xu Qing to the third floor via the elevator.

"Phew, as expected of a dojo founded by the world's strongest man. Even a branch in a base city is filled with powerful Fighters," Xu Gang let out a long breath.

Ding-dong.

The elevator stopped, and Xu Gang led Xu Qing out, arriving at Room 304.

The door was ajar, and inside sat a middle-aged man wearing combat armor, seemingly waiting for someone to arrive.

Xu Gang knocked on the door, "Hello, I am Xu Gang."

Hearing the voice, the middle-aged man swept his gaze over, and Xu Gang felt a biting aura rush toward him, making his skin crawl.

Xu Qing remained unresponsive, standing obediently behind Xu Gang.

"Come in," the middle-aged man withdrew his gaze and said indifferently.

Only then did Xu Gang lead Xu Qing inside.

"Are you the one taking the prospective martial artist examination?" The middle-aged man looked at Xu Gang and frowned; judging by his performance just now, he was like an ordinary person—could he even pass?

Xu Gang hurriedly shook his head, "Not me, it is my cousin, Xu Qing."

As he spoke, he pushed Xu Qing forward.

The middle-aged man looked at Xu Qing in surprise. This little fellow wanted to take the prospective martial artist examination? Was this a girl... no, a boy.

With those thin arms and legs, could he handle it?

However, the middle-aged man said nothing; since it was arranged by the Vice President, he only needed to complete his task.

He also knew this was the Xu Family, and since the Xu Family was a member of the Alliance, he had to give them some face.
